Thank you, friends, for your prayers...tomorrow I've got a lunch to host at church, and our last Sunday Night Family Dinner for a few weeks, and Aunt Sharon comes between the two, Lord willing.
Monday morning 8 am we all have our covid-for-travel tests, and then we get on the road, making it to good friends in Niceville, Florida Monday night, to Fort Pierce, Florida and Missionary Flights International on Tuesday night, Wednesday with my dad and his wife, and then an incredibly early flight Thursday to Northern Haiti with MFI.
These seem to be good days for road trips now that my budgeted mileage has doubled in cost (palm to forehead.)
We had a stomach sick little man today and are hoping the bug is a 24 hour one and that we're getting it all behind us before we take on the adventure!
The bags are packed and weighed and reconsidered and weighed again, the flip flops and skirts have all been dug out, all the shoes/chargers/meds/hair care products people sent us to bring in have arrived, and man groceries have been stocked for dad (you know what I mean). All the laundry is done (for a moment) and everything I can do or control has been done. Leaving an awful lot to the broad shoulders of the Lord!
The kids are all sweet and excited, and hearing them chatter about 'home' brings joy to the trip, which so far has been a lot of work and not a ton of fun :). I'm so thankful for the things about here they are unsure they want to leave, and so thankful for the things about there they are anxious to embrace. The Lord gives us family and lots of homes.
I'll be more easily posting on FB until we get settled on the island. When things get more stable in Haiti again...I'm taking you with me!
